[QUOTE=Darkus;28547049]Damn, Earth's been knocked 10inch off its axis because of this quake. [/LIST] [/QUOTE] In favour of northern hemisphere's summer? :buddy:
[QUOTE=kaskade700;28547333]In favour of northern hemisphere's summer? :buddy:[/QUOTE] Would be awesome I guess, but no one knows how this affects global weather patterns.
[QUOTE=OvB;28545465][B]It's not the size that matters really.[/B] These waves are moving at around 500 miles per hour. If you're on or below sea level that could flood and kill a lot of people. Though they do slow down considerably as they near the coast and start to break.[/QUOTE] It's not the size of the wave, it's the motion of the ocean, eh? :smug:

Do you guys know how many has died in this yet? This tsunami looks pretty powerfull..
We should work on taming nature even more and rebuilding the world so that the next time this happens we can laugh it off.

Im tired of this. Almost every year a lot of money goes to some sort of massive charity action. When does the suffering stop ?
[QUOTE=Miskatonic;28547743]Those people are dead, you know.[/QUOTE] What about the photographer and his camera?

[QUOTE=Cornelisjuh;28547769]Im tired of this. Almost every year a lot of money goes to some sort of massive charity action. When does the suffering stop ?[/QUOTE] When you're dead. Suffering is a part of life.
[QUOTE=Cornelisjuh;28547769]Im tired of this. Almost every year a lot of money goes to some sort of massive charity action. When does the suffering stop ?[/QUOTE] Ummm... you can't stop these kinds of things from happening.
[QUOTE=Miskatonic;28547743]Those people are dead, you know.[/QUOTE] They aren't. It's a swedish family that somehow managed to survive with no casualties.
Fires are *still* burning...
[QUOTE=HubmaN;28547814]Fires are *still* burning...[/QUOTE] Fires can burn for weeks, you know.

[QUOTE=archangel125;28547823]Fires can burn for weeks, you know.[/QUOTE] Damn those fires and their tendencies to not get bored after a few hours.
